When communication breaks down, passions and desires no longer align, and challenges in your relationship have led to thoughts of divorce, I am here to help. I specialize in building problem-solving skills through effective, empowered communication, guided by the principles of Gottman Couples Therapy. Together, we can work toward discovering the best path for your relationship.

If you’ve experienced an event that has profoundly impacted who you are and how you connect with others, negatively affecting various areas of your life, I am here to help. Using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I work with clients to overcome their past, freeing them from flashbacks, mood swings, avoidances, sleep disturbances (like nightmares), and other challenges. Together, we’ll help you reclaim a fulfilling life and improve your relationships and overall well-being!

When you lack energy, sleep through most of your day, or feel less social and vibrant than you once were, it’s okay—you’re not alone. If you’ve contemplated ending your life or feel that life is losing its meaning, I’m here to help. Through compassionate, empathetic therapy and active listening, I will work with you to connect the dots, rediscover your purpose, and reignite your motivation to embrace life and its possibilities. Together, we can work toward a brighter future!

I am an expert in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) due to my extensive training and experience in this evidence-based modality. I am dedicated to helping individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping strategies. Through DBT, I teach clients mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. I integrate these skills to help clients build resilience, reduce harmful behaviors, and lead more balanced, fulfilling lives.

I am an expert in the Gottman Method due to my extensive experience working with couples facing communication challenges, conflict, and emotional disconnection. Through Gottman’s research-backed approach, I help couples strengthen their bond by improving communication, managing conflict, and fostering deeper intimacy. My experience allows me to guide couples in building trust, resolving issues constructively, and creating long-lasting, changes in their relationships for a healthier future.

I am an expert in EMDR through my foundational training accredited by EMDRIA, which has equipped me with the tools to help individuals process trauma and distressing memories. My training enables me to guide clients through the EMDR phases, using bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional intensity and reframe negative beliefs. I am committed to supporting clients in overcoming trauma, improving their emotional well-being, and achieving lasting healing through this therapeutic approach.
